Business Development Lead CRM / Software Salary: £50,000 - £56,250 FTE depending on experience Location: Coventry / Hybrid (West Midlands). Contract: Permanent, Full-Time, 37.5hrs a week. Our client is a boutique professional services firm dedicated to empowering the charity and non-profit sector through expert technical consultancy. They are seeking an exceptional Business Development Lead to take full ownership of the agency's sales, marketing, positioning, and strategic partnerships. Reporting directly to the Directors, you will work as a key member of the senior team, collaborating closely with leadership and senior consultants to elevate company visibility and drive mission-aligned growth across the sector. You'll have the option to work from their Coventry office full-time, or a blend of office-based and remote working as suits you. Why this job? Mission-critical impact: Their customers are all charities and NGOs-you'll get to build your career while having a genuinely positive impact on the world. Relationship over transaction: They prioritise depth over breadth. You'll be encouraged to find the right fit for the business, rather than just hitting a sales quota. Ownership: This role will lead their customer engagement and marketing strategy, with the freedom to shape how the company tells its story to the sector. Consultative & creative: The company doesn't sell the same product over and over. You'll spend your time listening to prospects, decoding their challenges and collaborating with consultants - some of the top in the industry - to creatively form solution proposals. Responsibilities Marketing strategy & execution: You will proactively work to increase the company's visibility and recognition across the sector. Your goal is to move the company from being a "best-kept secret" to a recognised authority and sought-after partner for non-profits. You'll design and own our marketing strategy that sells results, not just skills. You'll coordinate the execution of that strategy, partly yourself and partly with internal and external resources. You'll oversee case studies and digital content that reflect our specific technical prowess. Networking & public voice: You will be a voice for the company in key networking spaces and forums, building genuine connections with charity leaders and stakeholders. You will actively look for opportunities for yourself or our key staff members to be a voice in the non-profit space, whether through speaking engagements, panel discussions, or high-level networking. You will ensure our voice is heard within the sector, whether that be in-person or digitally through professional online networks (e.g. LinkedIn). Own & expand the pipeline: You'll be responsible for both the growth and health of the sales pipeline-from active lead generation, both with existing clients and identifying new prospects, to managing initial enquiries and qualifying prospects against budget, authority, need, timeline and values. You will ensure potential customers have a great experience, including meeting prospect-imposed timelines (eg. RFPs). You will manage effectively the information within systems relating to sales activity so that everyone involved has up-to-date information to hand. Consultative discovery: You will lead initial sales calls and discovery sessions to build genuine rapport with prospects. You will be responsible for uncovering not just their technical requirements, but their underlying motivations and pain points-identifying the "unsaid" factors that will allow them to say 'yes' to a long-term partnership. You'll know when to bring in technical specialists into support sales calls. Proposal & pitches: You'll lead the creation of high-quality, narrative-driven proposals, ranging from short one-page documents to rich in-depth formal proposals (eg. RFP responses). You'll collaborate with the senior technical team to translate "tech-speak" into client empathy and clear commercial value. Vendor & partner relationships: You'll co-manage our strategic relationships with key partners such as SaaS vendors and other agencies, developing and maintaining these relationships to ensure we remain a "partner of choice" and stay aligned with their roadmaps. You will conduct effective co-selling of deals (eg. where the company is an implementing partner with a SaaS vendor such as Beacon or Salesforce) and find promotional opportunities with these vendors and other aligned professionals. Capacity gatekeeping: You'll act as a bridge to our delivery team, matching our sales pipeline to real-time capacity planning to ensure we can deliver what we sell without burning out the team. Person Requirements Technical fluency: You can pivot between strategic board discussions and technical sessions with developers. You translate complex risks into business impact and are equally comfortable talking donor strategy with a CEO, product strategy with a COO or data schema with a CTO. Solution mindset: You understand how CRMs, apps, APIs, cloud architecture, and integrations fit together. This allows you to spot viable solutions in a first meeting and understand the "art of the possible" without needing a developer in the room. Filtering: You identify "good fit" projects early. You can lead technical discovery and draft proposals that our delivery team can actually execute, ensuring we never over-promise. Experience: 5+ years in sales, marketing or account management within professional services or tech. The benefits package is designed to support your health, financial security, and work-life balance. Annual Leave: You will receive 35 working days of paid leave per year Health Cover Enhanced Pension Matching: The company will match 100% of your pension contributions up to 10%. Take your birthday off as an extra paid day of leave. Holiday Purchase Scheme: buy up to 10 additional days of annual leave per year. Hybrid Working: two full working days in the office each week. Please send your CV to Gary Simpson !

You will manage effectively the information within systems relating to sales activity so that everyone involved has up-to-date information to hand. Consultative discovery: You will lead initial sales calls and discovery sessions to build genuine rapport with prospects. You will be responsible for uncovering not just their technical requirements, but their underlying motivations and pain points-identifying the "unsaid" factors that will allow them to say 'yes' to a long-term partnership. You'll know when to bring in technical specialists into support sales calls. Proposal & pitches: You'll lead the creation of high-quality, narrative-driven proposals, ranging from short one-page documents to rich in-depth formal proposals (eg. RFP responses). You'll collaborate with the senior technical team to translate "tech-speak" into client empathy and clear commercial value. Vendor & partner relationships: You'll co-manage our strategic relationships with key partners such as SaaS vendors and other agencies, developing and maintaining these relationships to ensure we remain a "partner of choice" and stay aligned with their roadmaps. You will conduct effective co-selling of deals (eg. where the company is an implementing partner with a SaaS vendor such as Beacon or Salesforce) and find promotional opportunities with these vendors and other aligned professionals. Capacity gatekeeping: You'll act as a bridge to our delivery team, matching our sales pipeline to real-time capacity planning to ensure we can deliver what we sell without burning out the team. Person Requirements Technical fluency: You can pivot between strategic board discussions and technical sessions with developers. You translate complex risks into business impact and are equally comfortable talking donor strategy with a CEO, product strategy with a COO or data schema with a CTO. Solution mindset: You understand how CRMs, apps, APIs, cloud architecture, and integrations fit together. This allows you to spot viable solutions in a first meeting and understand the "art of the possible" without needing a developer in the room. Filtering: You identify "good fit" projects early. You can lead technical discovery and draft proposals that our delivery team can actually execute, ensuring we never over-promise. Experience: 5+ years in sales, marketing or account management within professional services or tech. The benefits package is designed to support your health, financial security, and work-life balance. Annual Leave: You will receive 35 working days of paid leave per year Health Cover Enhanced Pension Matching: The company will match 100% of your pension contributions up to 10%. Take your birthday off as an extra paid day of leave. Holiday Purchase Scheme: buy up to 10 additional days of annual leave per year. Hybrid Working: two full working days in the office each week.

About us Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet - and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate - we litigate and campaign to fix it. Big Tech companies have become so large - gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data - that they're now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere - threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers' rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI. Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We've launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech's harmful business models , supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama - winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google's theft of independent news . We've filed the UK's first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision , forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm , helped make grading fair for UK A-level students and challenged the Department of Work and Pension's use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations. We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. We are a CIC , not a practising law firm. We partner with legal firms on cases, directing litigation in multiple jurisdictions. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech. About you You are a highly experienced lawyer with a strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. You see the law as a tool for structural change, not just individual wins. You think strategically about how litigation, campaigning, and coalition-building can work together. You appreciate the value and impact of movements and are as comfortable drafting legal arguments as you are speaking to a journalist, or rallying those who've never heard of judicial review to a joint cause. You care about power, meaning who has it, who doesn't, and how to shift it. You follow the ways Big Tech and governments are reshaping society, and you don't just find it interesting: it makes you want to act. You're a sharp, compelling writer who can make complex legal arguments land with different audiences. You're a self-starter who spots opportunities and runs with them, but you're equally invested in the team around you. You share credit generously, help sharpen others' thinking, and understand that lasting change is collective. Most importantly, you believe in making the use of technology fair for all. If this is you; if you want to take on some of the most powerful companies and governments in the world, and you think the law is one of the tools we have to do it; if you are seeking a role where the work is urgent and the stakes are real, we would love to hear from you. The role The post holder will work alongside our Co-Executive Director, Head of Legal and Legal Administrator in developing and managing Foxglove's legal work. You will develop and drive forward a significant number and range of cases, including the development of case theories, investigating and collecting evidence, drafting correspondence, evidence and submissions. You will also be responsible for coordinating and managing external legal teams, in multiple jurisdictions. This will require you to have the comfort and ability to navigate diverse settings, while also having the insight to weigh up the benefits and challenges of pursuing cases in different jurisdictions. You will serve as an external representative for Foxglove's work, writing and speaking on topics of relevance. You will also be a sparring partner for others in the team, bringing a creative mindset and political savviness. UK and international travel are required. Flexibility with working hours will sometimes be needed. Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Case Development and Management: Build connections, and listen to affected communities, unearth and pursue issues caused by tech injustice, coming up with innovative legal solutions. Build and maintain relationships with impacted community members, unions, other lawyers, experts, co-counsel, intervenors, civil society organisations, whistleblowers, and the public. Explore and develop new and undiscovered opportunities for Foxglove to be impactful and effective in our work. Effectively work with the co-Executive Director and Head of Legal to develop and implement Foxglove's legal strategy. Manage multiple cases at any one time, while also thinking to the future regarding cases that should be explored and developed. Draft and comment on technical and legal documents and correspondence. Lead evidence gathering. Compliance and Risk Management: Manage court deadlines and time limits where applicable. Ensure regulatory compliance in all aspects of your work and our cases. Always maintain the strictest standards of client confidentiality. Always maintain the strictest concern for and awareness of data protection and Foxglove policies. Keep up to date with the global political and litigation landscape concerning tech justice. Other: Help ensure communities', workers' and affected individual's voices are heard in our campaigns, communications and advocacy work. Contribute to external representation and writing, including through media appearances, social media posts, blogs and op-eds. Contribute to the development of materials for advocacy purposes including video or audio testimony, photographs etc. Support others in our legal team, across Foxglove, and the relevant ecosystem in developing strategies to use the law to hold governments and companies to account. Other ad hoc tasks as required. Person Specification Essential: Substantial experience in legal practice and conducting litigation and a demonstrated understanding of litigation strategies. Creative thinking and imagination. A strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. Qualified lawyer in any jurisdiction with at least 10 years of legal experience. Significant experience in legal practice in the UK. Demonstrable commitment to supporting marginalised communities to access justice. Ability to learn new areas of law quickly and develop new areas of work. Good political antennae and excellent relationship building and management skills. Experience conducting cases from initial advice through to trial. Relevant experience in analysing complex factual and legal situations and helping to advise clients in accordance with their aims. Experience in dealing sensitively with clients, whistleblowers and experts. Experience in working on complex matters, which require analysis of large amounts of documents and data. Excellent communication skills, demonstrated by the ability to communicate accurately, clearly, concisely and persuasively, both verbally and in writing. Excellent time management skills demonstrated by the ability to organise and prioritise a complex workload and work to tight deadlines. Experience in working and leading a team environment. Comfort with working at both the details-driven operational level and big-picture strategic level, as well as the ability to navigate between the two. Length and Salary The role is permanent. The annual salary is £88,400 per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance. Our team works remotely, and this role can be based anywhere. We would prefer you to work within or close to UK office hours, but this is flexible. Our team travels every two months for team days and twice a year for team retreats. This role will include significant UK and international travel. Only candidates with the right to work in their location will be considered.
